What I do

I'm a front-end developer. I like to create the bells and whistles that you will see and interact with when you visit a website. I'm as interested in how a website looks and functions as I am about how the HTML markup is structured and how accessible the website is.

I've got twelve years of experience in working with web technologies — the last six of that has been spent working in a professional capacity, making a living with the skills that I've developed.

During the day I work as Lead Front-end Developer at 2degrees. Before that I worked as an Online Campaign Designer at RS Components. When the sun sets, I can be found basking in the cool glow of my computer display while working late in to the night on my own projects.

I've been involved in a number of online projects in some way or another over the past couple of years.

In 2008 I co-created moanlog — a website where people can go to moan anonymously. My role at moanlog mainly consisted of implementing the front-end of the website.

In 2009 I created Dingoonity — a community centered around a Chinese portable games console called the Dingoo A320, and development on the console. I created Dingoonity by myself, but now I've got a team of staff running the community.

Through 2010 and 2011 I worked on various small projects, such as my popular "Install all Firefoxes" shell script for Mac OS X, and lots of userscripts for Greasemonkey and Google Chrome (most of which are talked about on my blog).

In 2012 I co-founded a web design company called Marmalade & Jam with Jenny Broomfield.

  • HTML I've been working with standards-compliant HTML since 2002.
  • CSS I've been focussed on creating valid CSS since 2004.
  • PHP I've been developing stuff with PHP since 2005.
  • MySQL I've been producing CRUD with MySQL since 2005.
  • JavaScript I've been developing stuff with JavaScript since 2005.
  • jQuery I've been (ab)using jQuery constantly since 2009.
  • XML I've been marking up XML since 2009.
  • XSLT I've been transforming XML with XSLT since 2009.
